Probably because both would've been impossible...Keeping an ally strong against a hostile power, protecting gas lines, etc. does not qualify as in our best interests?
If we did what was in our best interests, we would have invaded China and Russia directly after WWII, put the Chinese Emporer back into power, and freed the Russians from a bloody and horrible dictator. THAT would have been in our best interests, but we did not do it.
Invading Russia simply cannot be done.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
